HyperCard in a Hurry can turn you into a developer fast.

I'm not sure of the edition I read; someone is borrowing itnow, but if this edition is anything like it, I would highly recommendit. The HyperCard in a Hurry book that I read was an excellent book that got me up and running on HyperCard in no time at all. First-time computer users can learn a great deal about their Macs as they learn how to use HyperCard productively. More experienced computer users will race through the book and come out with plenty of new skills. Beekman leads you through a sample project instructing you all the way in the use of all the tools used. Beekman is a good teacher. Beginners are able to build interesting and useful projects in only a few hours using the book. The presentation is extremely clear and simple and the whole process is a lot of fun. I have to warn buyers that HyperCard is like peanuts and with the skills you learn in this text, you will be immediately hooked and begin shirking your other chores in favor of imagining and then developing projects in HyperCard. Beekman's book was my first experience with HyperCard and soon after reading it I wrote two projects that both sold on their first trips out to publishers. What's more, one of them caught the fancy of an acquisitions editor and got me a book contract with a major publisher. Mil gracias por todo, Mr. Beekman.
An excellent starter book of HyperCard programming

I taught myself how to program HyperCard by just sitting down, reading the book, and doing the examples. Very clearly written
